H

Collaboration between users and technology, such as computers, machines or CPS.

Note 1: Implemented by human- and task-oriented technical systems at the interface between users and technology.

Note 2: Includes the analysis, design and evaluation of such systems.

Note 3: Collaboration synonymous to interaction.

Globally uniquely identifiable participant with communication capability consisting of administration shell and asset (corresponds to CP24, CP34 or CP44) within an I4.0 system which there offers services with defined QoS (quality of service) characteristics.

Note 1: For its services and data, the I4.0 component offers protection commensurate with the task.

Note 2: An I4.0 component can represent a production system, a single machine or station, or even an assembly within a machine.

System, consisting of I4.0 components and components of a lower CP classification, which serves a specific purpose, has defined properties, and supports standardized services and states

Note 1: A system may be present as a component in a further I4.0 system.

Note 2: An I4.0 system must define a relation to the I4.0 platform.

Note 3: Flexibility, transformability, etc. are features of an I4.0 system.

Identity information that unambiguously distinguishes one entity from another one in a given domain.

Note: there are specific identifiers, e.g. UUID Universal unique identifier, IEC 15418 (GS1).

Set of properties related to an entity.

Note: In a particular domain of applicability, an identity can become a distinguishing identity or an identifier to allow entities to be distinguished or uniquely recognized within that domain.

Ideas, thought constructs, algorithms, models, and the totality of representations of physical objects and people in a virtual environment.

Note 1: The frame of reference of the totality in question must be defined.

Note 2: The elements of the information world can be related to each other via semantics.

Engineering tasks over the entire life cycle of a technical system for which the information flow via interfaces is guaranteed preserving

  • consistency of information
  • interpretability of information
  • traceability of information

Note 1: Tools with digital models simplify the integrated engineering

Note 2: The digital models can be part of an I4.0 component

Behavior that is specified by a sequence of messages between two or more system entities, each of them comprising primitives related to call events, and/or notifications related to signal events.

Note: In an extreme case, an interaction just consists of one primitive or one notification.
